So! October has not been going the way I’d like it to, in terms of writing, mostly meaning that the Changeling story continues to limp on and not get finished. But, since the end of the month is a little
And What About Cozy Mysteries?
Hey-o, squiders. Sorry for missing Tuesday’s post. I have no excuse except, uh…oh. Oh yeah. I had volunteer commitments. Okay, that’s a pretty good excuse. So, as I move toward trying my hand at my first cozy mystery during November,
A Roadblock for the Education Goal
Oh, wait, I was going to draw you a landsquid for today. Uhhh…hold on. Okay! Here we go! Hooray! It’s fall, it’s October, my FAVORITE, as I no doubt mention every year (August was the 10th anniversary of the blog,
